These lights were not as easy to install as I anticipated them being - the other reviewers seem to have had little issue but you DO NEED to be familiar with wiring and electrical safety to install these. Pros: These lights are hefty. They're solidly made and look fantastic. The backplate and shade are a gorgeous coppery gold metal. The swing arm is also metal. 10/10 quality! Everything came nicely organized in the box as well. Cons: 1) These lights are hefty. The shade is a little too heavy for the arm, and the light droops down even when we used the allen wrench to tighten the ball joint it still doesn't stay exactly where one might wish. I think a replacement shade would solve this problem but haven't tried it yet. 2) Not all the pieces came win the box, which is a set of two lights, but only one set of hardware ended up in the box. The instructions are unclear and difficult to follow (except to clearly say to have a professional electrician install the lights). You need to have your own impact driver and screwdriver set to install these, as well as be comfortable wiring them together (the cord comes as a separate piece with copper wires all ready to be twisted together, which was intimidating for me) Overall, I love these lights, but definitely be aware that they do require a bit of electrical know-how to install.

I love the look of these lights and I needed them to be plug in rather than hard wired. Even though the packaging included the plug, it needed a bit of wiring that made me uncomfortable. I just don’t have the skill set to wire anything. So, I had to get some help with that. Otherwise, they are great lights. My client loves them.

The scones are heavy and attractive. Kind of an industrial look, very contemporary. However I didnt realize there was no corded option. Both lights have to be wired and there is only one cord with a switch. Have to hire an electrician to figure it out. Not happening soon.

I really like these, but they’re not as mobile as I would have liked. Next time, I’ll make sure they are more flexible.

The reviews were not wrong, these are elegant and substantial lights. They remind me of Art Deco, and for that Im in love! We have two reading chairs in the front of our open living space and these are perfect to compliment the space. If the space is tiny, you might want to rethink because these are sizable. I encourage you to look at the dimensions before you purchase. Very happy!
